Lost (5)
Since Li Xiaole did not have any objects on his body that could prove his identity, Chen Yufei asked Yang Xirou to identify the body first. It is said that Li Xiaole's body was found in a forest on the outskirts at around 10 o'clock last night. It was deserted at night, and last night it happened that a couple drove all the way to the woods to play with the car shock, and found the body and immediately reported the crime. Li Xiaole's handbag was left near the scene of the crime, but it was later found by police officers during the search. There is only PHS in the bag, and there is no mobile phone, which should have been taken away by the murderer.
Li Xiaole was stabbed in the abdomen and died of excessive blood loss. Both eyes were gouged out, the eardrums of both ears were punctured, and the death was tragic.
Yang Xirou also told Mu Qingcheng that she heard another criminal police officer tell Chen Yufei that she had found suspicious rut marks in a minibus on the path outside the woods, and that a suspected criminal vehicle had also been found in surveillance footage along the way. The murderer should have abducted the victim into the woods by car and fled along the side road after committing the crime. However, the surveillance along the way is civilian surveillance, and the recorded picture is extremely low-definition, and even the model of the vehicle cannot be identified, let alone the driver who caused the accident, so the police need to ask Cheng Yijie again to help analyze the surveillance screen.
"Except for how the body was found, Chen Yufei refused to tell me anything, and if Cheng Yijie went to help analyze the surveillance video, he would definitely know something." Yang Xirou pleaded eagerly, "Lele is my best friend, she was killed so inexplicably, and she died so miserably." I want to know what's going on, can you help me inquire with Cheng Yijie? β
Mu Qingcheng's heart moved violently, and the desire to see Cheng Yijie was stronger than ever. "Cousin, I will contact Cheng Yijie, as long as I can learn about it, I will tell you."
In the Public Security Bureau, Cheng Yijie was watching the surveillance video with Chen Yufei, and he asked the police to call up all the surveillance along the way, and then check them one by one, hoping to find clues in hundreds of pictures as much as possible.
"Judging from the behavior of escaping along the side road and skillfully avoiding all police probes, it is likely that the driver is a person who is very familiar with the road environment and has lived in Xilin for a long time. In addition, there are two possibilities for the vehicle to deviate during the journey, the driver is drunk driving or fatigue driving. Also, there was a problem with the vehicle's fog lights and bumper, as if it had been a collision. I felt it was necessary to investigate whether there was a traffic accident near the scene of the crime last night. β
Cheng Yijie pointed to one of the pictures, "Especially here, from the change of the ground light illuminated by the headlights, it can be inferred that the driver got out of the car, took off the fog lamps that had fallen off and put them in the trunk." The age of the driver should be around thirty or forty years old, and usually young people take things and put them in their cars, not in the trunk. β
"The information you provided is so valuable, I'll have someone investigate the traffic accident right away." Chen Yufei trusts Cheng Yijie very much.
"Can you take me to the scene of the crime? Maybe I'll be able to find out more details. Cheng Yijie proposed again.
"Yes." Chen Yufei then took him to the woods where the body was found. When the two arrived under a big tree, Chen Yufei told him that according to the conclusion of the investigation at the scene, the victim was stabbed in the abdomen here, but still escaped. The two walked along the inferred escape route of the victim, and Cheng Yijie raised his head, and the houses of nearby villagers were faintly visible in the distance.
Under another large tree, where the victim had fallen after running out of energy. No footprints were extracted from the scene that were useful for solving the case, indicating that the murderer had been carefully arranged, as if wearing shoe covers.
"The victim had something like a fiber in his mouth, and it would take a test to determine what it was." Chen Yufei said.
"Do you have a picture of the fiber?" Cheng Yijie asked.
"Yes." Chen Yufei flipped through the photo from the tablet and handed it to Cheng Yijie. There were also several photos of the body when it was found, and he also showed it.
Cheng Yijie only glanced at it and said, "I can see that this is the fiber of gauze without identification." Let me reconstruct the scene, the murderer tied the victim's hands and stuffed gauze into the victim's mouth to prevent her from calling for help. He then stabbed the victim in the abdomen and then released her, telling her to flee for her life in the lights of the distant house. The murderer followed her and watched her bleed all the way and slowly die. After she finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground and died, she took away the gauze and rope, and then gouged out the eyes of the deceased and punctured her eardrums. β
"You're so godlike, you can deduce the whole process without even seeing the body. The deceased's wrists did have scars from being tied with ropes, his eyes were gouged out after death, and his eardrums were punctured after death. Chen Yufei's eyes were full of admiration, "What I can't figure out is that
Why don't you kill each other all at once, and go to such great lengths? β
"So that she can experience the horror of death." Cheng Yijie said thoughtfully, "This is not a simple killing, there must be some reason for the murderer to choose this way." β
He looked around again, his gaze frozen. There seemed to be some scratches on the side of the trunk of the big tree. He looked closely, the scratches were shallow, the vertical rows were arranged in two rows, and the crooked font was almost indecipherable to the naked eye, but he still confirmed the contents of those two rows with extraordinary eyesightβ"some eyes cannot see, and some ears cannot hear."
Chen Yufei was very surprised by this: "When we investigated the site, we didn't notice these two rows of characters at all. 'There are eyes that can't see, and there are ears that can't hear', the eyes of the deceased were gouged out and the eardrums were punctured, this should be a message left by the murderer! β
Cheng Yijie nodded in agreement. "If I'm not mistaken, it's a sentence from the Bible, 'They have eyes that cannot see, and ears that do not hear, because they are a house of rebellion.'"
"Do you also study the Bible?" Chen Yufei asked strangely, "You're not a Christian, are you?" β
"I'm not, but my grandfather was a devout Christian, and when he used to have nothing to do, he turned over his Bible and memorized something. Disobedience, contrary to the right way. If this is the case, is Li Xiaole's murder because she did something against the right path? Cheng Yijie thought about it, and compared the height of the two rows of words, "Judging from the words above, the person who engraved the words stood up straight and carved." He is nearly 1.7 meters tall and holds a knife with his left hand, which has less force. I am not used to using my left hand, so it is more difficult to carve.
Judging from these two rows of characters alone, it is difficult to say whether it is male or female. Watching Li Xiaole struggle to survive and slowly die, then gouging out his eyes, puncturing his eardrums, and carving words on a tree is like completing a ritual. Very cruel and very special. β
"Li Xiaole is 1.78 meters tall and is a model, listening to Yang Xirou, she is still a taekwondo master." Chen Yufei pondered, "There are no traces of a fight on the corpse. With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, if it is a woman, it is impossible to easily subdue Li Xiaole, it should be a man. β
"The lettering knife is different from the ordinary knife, and the edge of the knife is serrate." Cheng Yijie said again.
Chen Yufei nodded again and again. "After forensic examination, the murder weapon was a tool with a sharp tip, a narrow and narrow stabbing and a bladed surface, and the wound was jagged, and it seems that the knife used for engraving was the murder weapon."
The conversation between the two was interrupted by the ringing of the mobile phone, and it was someone from the Public Security Bureau who called Chen Yufei.
"Yijie, as you expected, there was a traffic accident near the scene of the crime." After the call, Chen Yufei relayed the results of the investigation, "Li Xiaole's death is presumed between 9 and 10 o'clock last night. The suspicious vehicle in the surveillance video appeared at 9:30, and at about 9:25, the district public security bureau received a report that an electric bicycle and a person were lying on the road on the east side of an abandoned factory near the scene of the crime, and the person was injured.
After receiving the police, the police on duty immediately rushed to the scene and found some car fog lamp glass fragments and suspected car bumper peeling paint at the scene, which preliminarily judged that this was a traffic hit-and-run accident. The tail of the electric bicycle was seriously damaged, and the owner was injured and sent to the hospital for rescue, but due to the severity of the injury, the rescue was ineffective and died. There were no surveillance cameras installed in the area of the factory, no witnesses were found, and there were no brake marks at the scene, so it can only be identified that the fragments of the car fog lamp glass left at the scene are Geely EC7RC minibus fog lamp fragments. The suspicious rut found outside the woods was that of a minibus, and the two were consistent. β
"The vehicle that caused the accident and the one who hijacked Li Xiaole are the same car." Cheng Yijie said with certainty, "The information on both sides can corroborate each other, a man in his thirties and forties, after committing the crime, drove a Geely EC7RC minibus to flee the scene, due to excessive mental tension and fatigue, accidentally knocked down a person riding an electric bicycle on the way, and drove away without even stepping on the brakes after hitting the person." As I said before, there are two possibilities for the vehicle to be drunk or fatigued. It is now certain that the driver is a fatigue driver, drunk person, and it is difficult to complete such a well-thought-out murder plan. β
"This information can reduce the scope of the police's investigation from hundreds of thousands to thousands, and the workload will be reduced by a hundredfold!" Chen Yufei's eyes flashed with admiration.
The conversation between the two was interrupted again by a call from his mobile phone, and Cheng Yijie saw the three words "little orange" flashing on the screen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Little orange." He whispered seductively, "Did you miss me?" β
Mu Qingcheng finished his work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so he couldn't wait to call Cheng Yijie. She originally planned to cut straight to the point and ask about Li Xiaole's murder, but as soon as she heard Cheng Yijie's voice, her heart beat violently, the muscles in her body were tense, and she forgot all the words she had thought about. finally held back a sentence: "Where are you?" β
